'No need for knee-jerk reaction': Finance Minister Arun Jaitley blames global factors for rupee fall

India TV News  

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday defended devaluation of Indian Rupee against the US Dollar even as it hit the lowest ever mark of 71.96 today to end at 71.75 per USD. He further said the dollar has strengthened against almost every other currency and added that the rupee has consistently either strengthened or remained in a range. The finance minister argued that Indian Rupee was not the only currency to be hit in the current global economy and if anything, INR strengthened vis-a-vis other international currencies in last four-to- five years. While crude oil prices rose further in anticipation of tightening supply, buying of the dollar by banks and importers along with strengthening of the US currency overseas dragged the rupee lower.
